Ferrari
FF facelift
Ferrari
has started tests of an updated Ferrari FF (Ferrari FF facelift), which is
expected to arrive in the market next year.
While
the Italian brand has taken to downsizing, having replaced the Ferrari
California’s 4.3-liter V8 with a 3.9-liter bi-turbo V8, and having introduced
the same on the 488, the FF will continue to hold on to its V12 naturally-aspirated
engine, Galliera confirmed. “No, the engine, it’s our pinnacle. It will be V12
naturally-aspirated,” he stated.
According
to reports online, engineers are likely to retune this engine to about 700 PS
from the current 660 PS, while the 7-speed double-clutch transmission could
make way for an 8-speed unit, which will result in reducing CO2 emissions.
The
FF had its premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and the 2016 Geneva Motor
Show could be an ideal venue for the facelift’s debut.
